The complete question is

"Which values of x and y would make the following expression represent a real number? (4 + 5i)(x + yi)"

The value of x and y are all points that satisfy the equation would be,(4,-5).

How to find the simplify the expression?

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression.

The given expression is,

(4 + 5i)(x + yi)

4(x + yi)+ 5i (x + yi)

4x + 4yi + 5xi + 5yi^2

We know that i^2 = -1

4x + 4yi + 5xi - 5y

(4x - 5y) +i (  4y + 5x)

In x+iy, x is the real part and y is the imaginary part.

If the given expression represents a real number it means the imaginary part must be zero.

4y + 5x= 0

All the points which satisfy the above equation are the values of x and y for which the given expression is a real number.

For eg. (4,-5)

4y + 5x

4(-5) + 5(4)

= 0

LHS=RHS, which means the point satisfies the equation and the value of x and y are (4,-5).
